Pundit predicts Tottenham and Manchester City will draw 2-2.
Paul Merson
Paul Merson has told SkySports that he predicts Tottenham and Manchester City to draw 2-2 when they face off this weekend.
The two teams are first and second in the table, with City currently possessing a 100 per cent record.
Last season Spurs won this fixture 4-1, and it was one in which Merson predicted a big win for City, so this season it is no surprise he is sitting on the fence.

Speaking to SkySports, Merson said: “I thought Swansea were unlucky last week in the first half against City and they will miss Kevin De Bruyne.
“I think Spurs will get a result. They are a good team and are also unbeaten. They haven’t played great but they have had some tricky games so you have to give them credit.”

Tottenham drew with Liverpool at White Hart Lane earlier this month, but other than that have won the rest of their home fixtures.
Both teams had tough away Champions League games, with Tottenham playing a day earlier, and winning 1-0 away to CSKA Moscow.
City had a shorter trip, travelling to Celtic, but were held to a 3-3 draw – the first match this season Pep Guardiola’s side have failed to win.
